If it replaced my current media player (PS5), then it would be used about 95% for streaming media and 5% playing games, so I consider it more of a Windows HTPC than a gaming console replacement.

I would just be 1/3rd of the people using the console and don’t believe anyone would touch it if it wasn’t an OS that the other users are comfortable with.

Appreciated. It may be worth it to just build a SFF after all. Never heard of massgrave before. QRD?

The live version of Grey Stone Chapel by Cash almost makes me want to go to church everytime I hear it

What kind of political power did/does he have and how many people are “above” him socially/politically? In other words, was he just a high-rankimg party member or an actual governor? I don’t personally consider anything below ~2 levels from the top to be an oligarch.

Thanks! I’d like to post more regularly on my part but just dropping images from mobile feels lazy and I haven’t had much time in front of my desktop to properly format posts recently. Hope to see you there!

The US government considers a 500hp V8 4-ton lifted RAM capable of cruising at 90mph with a iPad permantly embedded in the dash safer than a little 40mpg truck with a usable bed.

but muh safety

We have license classes and riding restrictions for a reason, numbnuts. This is 100% just protections BS. Otherwise, explain motorcycles or tractors being allowed on the road.

Kei trucks, and, hell, any good cars, are only dangerous to one thing: American profits.

Says who? Billionaire investors and regulators for a newly-elected President who saw an imaginary red line go up for two consecutive quarters? “Peace for our times.” The '08 crash was (is) massive and will be the defining event of the 21st century for future historians. Literally nothing but WW3 could overshadow it’s legacy.

Notice how the “timeline” section doesn’t end with “and then everything went back to normal in June 2009.” Tens of trillions of dollars evaporated overnight.

Selections:

2011: Median household wealth fell 35% in the U.S., from $106,591 to $68,839 between 2005 and 2011.

2014: A report showed that the distribution of household incomes in the United States became more unequal during the post-2008 economic recovery, a first for the United States but in line with the trend over the last ten economic recoveries since 1949.

2017: Per the International Monetary Fund, from 2007 to 2017, “advanced” economies accounted for only 26.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth while emerging and developing economies accounted for 73.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth.

Dunno about 2002 but '08-present day is 100% the same event

You’ve found financial success, a good relationship, and are relatively independent, why would you be considered a loser?

No

Re: complications

What you’re referring to is only the illusion of energy expendature. You moving, “burning” energy, isn’t really encouraging entropy because you’re just changing one energy form to another. The only thing that destroys energy is time.

Serious answer: Shudder. I love all the silly indie horror movies that I’d otherwise never hear about and would frankly never go through the trouble of uploading to my server for watching on Plex. Great fun whenever I have company over or just feel lazy one night and want to watch something mindless.

FWIW I’ve never heard trades/factory jobs be called “unskilled” before. Only things like cashiers, servers, etc., which I believe are called that because there’s really no prerequisite (education or experience) to be immediately “good enough” to do the job

Nothing and neither did you. Numbers on a screen aren’t anything more than a suggestion until it’s cash in your hand.

You’re right, Mexicans do suck

I dont get it, which minority am I supposed to blame for all my problems now?

FWIW the Panopticon has been used metaphorically before.

From Wikipedia (I’d recommend reading the whole Criticisms and use as Metaphor section):

In the mid-1970s, the panopticon was brought to the wider attention by the French psychoanalyst Jacques-Alain Miller and the French philosopher Michel Foucault.[30] In 1975, Foucault used the panopticon as metaphor for the modern disciplinary society in Discipline and Punish. He argued that the disciplinary society had emerged in the 18th century and that discipline are techniques for assuring the ordering of human complexities, with the ultimate aim of docility and utility in the system.[31] Foucault first came across the panopticon architecture when he studied the origins of clinical medicine and hospital architecture in the second half of the 18th century. He argued that discipline had replaced the pre-modern society of kings, and that the panopticon should not be understood as a building, but as a mechanism of power and a diagram of political technology
